The aim and focus of this Blog is to explore the multi faceted aspects of what being a magician is, how other magicians are, and how magic is and it is perceived by the general public, as well as product reviews, updates and much more.

Please be forewarned that his Blog in not meant nor intended for any readership under the age of eighteen (18), and not intended for individuals who are weak of character and swampy or of stagnant interior and constitution.

So here it goes….
My name is Rolando Medina, and I have been at this for quite a while…
My background in magic ranges from having done the mandatory kids party (shruuugs...) to performing street magic (busking), to performing magic on stage with a horror punk/thrash band called the Cutthroats, to entertaining guests at a major international chain of hotels… my experiences have been varied and of a wide range.
I have owned and operated a brick and mortar magic shop called Conjourum Magic Supply and Studio; I have also competed and won…. And lost… at magic conventions, I have done table hoping at restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. I have lectured and thought magic formally and now…. Presently I manufacture coin gaffs and apparatus. (And write this Blog).

Some of the topics to look forward too in this Blog will be:
“Wand Envy”
“I could never do that…”
“Bad effects vs. Good effects”
“Maintenance and care of your gaffed coins”
“Magician’s guilt”
“The Pompous and Egotistical Magician”
“Follow through”
“Accountability”
“Professionalism”
“R-e-s-p-e-c-t”
“Bull… Buullll…..Buuuullllshit!”
“Expectations”
“Reality Checks”
“Allayed arts?”
and much more…
So stay tuned for all these topics… and please remember that after you read each one you are more than welcome to email me & let me know how much you like the topic, if you agree with it, if you hate it, or just hate me…. hahahahahah!!!!!!! (Just kidding), but I would love to hear from you… just one favor… pretty please… with sugar on top…? No anonymous comments and emails; I personally can not read emails from people who are coward enough, or that lack such accountability as to remain anonymous and yet try to make their voice heard.
So there… enjoy the Truth Archive.
